That's really cool! I stumbled across libpng being 10+x slower to encode than jpg and tiff at work. The LOGLUV32 part is very clever. I particularly like the tonemapped fallback and general idea to build on top instead of reinventing. That said I hope these format extensions don't end up in compatibility hell, where viewing the full info image is hit or miss between different CPNG decoders.
